Go Like Hell

Go Like Hell: Ford, Ferrari, and their Battle for Speed and Glory at Le MansGo Like Hell: Ford, Ferrari, and their Battle for Speed and Glory at Le Mans by A.J. Baime

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


A quick and light read chronicling Ford's efforts to beat Ferrari at the Le Mans race. The book builds up to the showdown at Le Mans with examination of the leaders of two the companies, well known drivers of the era, the development of the race cars, and summaries of other key races. While aimed at racing aficionados with its intermixed technical jargon, the core story of two men struggling to outdo each other can be appreciated by all.
